Recycled Day of the Dead Milk Jug Lanterns

My kids are milk-a-holics. We all have our vices and I guess milk is better than most. That being said I am recycling a plastic jug almost daily. I had seen so many cute lanterns made from milk jugs I thought why not create one with a Day of the Dead theme. The first thing you want to do is prep your carton by rinsing it and peeling off the stickers.

Once your jug is clean and dry start decorating your jugs like a sugar skull. I Googled them and started making dots, flowers, and hearts galore.

I had an egg nog container handy too that I handed over to my daughter. Even she was excited to decorate and learn about this holiday. Sugar skull milk jugs are kind of addicting to make. Mine looked great hanging out with my Halloween pumpkins.

Oh and small plastic containers work great too. Yup dug this single serve chocolate milk bottle out of the trash just for the crafting.

At night drop a glow stick in your jug and you have a lantern. I sat mine next to some lit blow molds in my yard.
Now hurry up and finish off that carton of milk so you can get crafty.

It's a great looking watch that fits well due to its replica watches sale large face and not an overly big size. Diesel's turn to sophistication was not without shading its wild side. The rolex replica sale is more polished no doubt but rugged nonetheless! The new Rollcage is sleek stainless steel in a simple, three-hand format. Its dial seems complex at first glance but has only the essentials marked-up, creating a very interesting dial pattern. The replica watches uk plays a crucial role in power dressing. The grey/blue combination creates a fake breitling gravely serious yet commanding feel; the rolex replica brushed gunmetal plating perfectly suiting the scenarios. The hublot replica uk makes casual and classy mesh into one.
